Angela Aki - This Love

Kanji

「愛があれば平和だ」と
誰かが口にしていた
頷く人もいれば、疑う人もいる

苦しみがあるからこそ 
あなたを抱きしめる時
その腕の優しさを
平和と感じるのでしょう

ある時から無口になり心を締め切り
この恋が引き裂かれそうになった

※重ねたこの手を
今度は離さない
信じる力が
愛を自由にする※

友情に救われたり、
未来を想像したり
幸せは見えるけれど 
自分を見る事はない

約束と言う私達のコンパスだけでは
この恋は方角を見失うの

△奇跡を待つより
この手をつなぎたい
信じる力が
私を自由にする△

この恋を恐れずに
You don’t have to fear this love,this love

(※くり返し)
(△くり返し)

English Translation

When there's love, there's peace
Someone used to say that
There are those nodding to it
And there are those doubting it

Whenever I was in pain
you’d hold me closely
And it was in the warmth of those
arms that I felt peace

But then I stopped talking to you and closed
off my heart, this love was torn apart

This time I don’t
let go off my heart
Because the power of belief
will set love free

When you helped me as a friend
I imagined our future together
And though I saw happiness in store for us
I didn’t see my own issues

Though we said our promises would be our compass
we lost sight of the direction this love was going in

Instead of waiting for a miracle
I want you to hold onto my hand
Because the power of belief
will set me free

You don’t have to fear this love
You don’t have to fear this love,this love

This time I don’t
let go off my heart
Because the power of belief
will set love free

Instead of waiting for a miracle
I want you to hold onto my hand
Because the power of belief
will set me free

Caught my ear from the very beginning of the song. Love it.
